It is a fantastic treat to have access to material that is so well-researched and comprehensive.

Terry Holland, Veritas College, Springs

The Complete Poetry Resource is a marvellous resource for students. It provides a very effective platform for the examination and for developing higher-order thinking skills.

Lisa Hosking, St Andrew’s School for Girls, Johannesburg

Dear English Experience, I have been through your most remarkable examination study guide and I am putting it out there for the students to order from you. It is most inspiring.

Leon Kruger, Reddam House, Atlantic Seaboard

I have placed an order for 230 copies of the Grade 8 and 9 Poetry Resource. Thank you very much! This book is great! Thanks for offering such excellent material!

Marian Wilkins, Die Deutsche Internationale Schule, Johannesburg

The English Experience has revolutionised my teaching. With the help of the comprehensive summaries and suggested answer disc, getting to grips with the content has never been easier.

Pamela Pierce, Senior English Teacher, Johannesburg

The material is of a good standard, with modern and accessible sources, which more than fit the LO syllabus. We integrate Religious Education into our LO curriculum and would have to supplement some of the tasks with some aspects of the Church’s teaching, but, from the basis of the excellent text, it would not require much extra work.

Fr Michael Theron, St Dominic’s Priory School, Port Elizabeth

We have so enjoyed the Grade 8 and 9 Poetry Resource! We are going to be using it again next year! I will order Coriolanus from you quite soon and, of course, the poetry again as well. The kids all say that the notes and summaries help them hugely. And those who have ordered the Exam Guide have also said that they’ve found it really helpful!

Leigh-Ann Spriggs, Senior English Teacher

Thank you for your prompt response. I will place the order tomorrow morning. I know I’m supposed to be resting this holiday, but the idea of getting my hands on The Dream House is so exciting that I’ll be prepping on Christmas Day. Your products are simply outstanding!
